What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


Enhanced with SSC shell optimization





Each of DW’s grain orientation types ? VLT, HVLT, VLX, and X ? has a profound effect on a drum’s fundamental pitch. Fortunately, DW’s Specialized Shell Configuration (SSC) simplifies things for the user. SSC just means that DW selects the best type of shell construction for each drum size in the Collector’s Series Exotic shell pack. The result? Toms sound harmonious across the kit, with plenty of bite and a pure tone. And Sweetwater drummers noted that the 22" kick drum has the sort of depth and openness that more closely resembles a 24" in traditional drum sizes ? a definite win for rock drummers.
